I'm sensing come cognitive dissonance.
But seriously folks. Thanks for the suggestions. I should have mentioned that i' using Affinity Photo, don't have designer. So I don't have the Compound option on the Layer menu. I think to Cog and donut combo will work, though. Just need to figure out how to combine them so they share styles and such.

I just purchased Affinity Photo as a replacement for Photoshop.
This issue is the first one I ran into, and it's VERY frustrating when dealing with deep/intricate folder structures.
Does the development team monitor these forums at all?
